What I really dislike about this "list" (although there are many things) is just the way it seems trying to get women to deny having less pleasant and messy emotions. Don't frown? Don't cry? Don't be hurt? Because someone else won't like it? Bite me!
All of that is a part of life! If you don't experience it you'll be an emotional child forever, and if you take the advice to supress those things you'll be an exceptionally pleasant emotional cripple.
You can't always just avoid the bad things and feelings, nor should you.
